Based on an archaic bronze form, the body of the vessel is finely decorated on a yellow ground with large stylised lotus blooms borne on leafy stems with smaller flower-heads. All are between a band of overlapping ruyi-heads in delicate shades of pink to the foot rim, and a narrow band of ruyi-heads in blue to the shoulder. The neck is decorated with a band of ruyi-head pendant leaves and the interior mouth rim has a band of small stylised chilong on a pink ground of scrolling foliage.

Compare with a painted enamel cup and stand, Qianlong mark and of the period, with a very similar lotus scroll on a yellow ground, in the collection of the Palace Museum, illustrated in Metal-bodied Enamel Ware: The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, vol. 43, Hong Kong, p. 215, no. 205. There is a similar band of pink scrolls on a pink ground to the cover of a painted enamel loop handled jar illustrated in ibid, p. 223, no. 212.
